New oral peptide ICOTYDE shows sustained clearance in psoriasis patients over two years

Johnson & Johnson announced two-year Phase 3 data for ICOTYDE (icotrokinra), an oral peptide targeting IL-23 receptor, showing sustained skin clearance in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, especially in sensitive areas like scalp and genitals. At Week 112, 60% of scalp psoriasis and 89% of genital psoriasis patients achieved complete clearance, with a favorable safety profile and no new safety concerns. This marks a significant advancement for treating challenging psoriasis sites that often resist topical treatments. Ongoing studies will further explore ICOTYDE's potential in related inflammatory diseases.
